American Size Tenga

US Tenga

Remembered seeing a mention of such a thing over at Danny Choo’s a while back, but didn’t think much would come of it (excuse the pun). However, my eye was caught by this in an Akiba adult department store – and how accommodating it looks! Not a user, or an American, so unfortunately I can’t comment on whether it is truly sufficient for American use, although the flattery probably also extends to Europeans.

Hello Kitty Robo

Hello Kitty - Robot Kingdom – Tsukumo’s Akiba Robot Hobby Store

This demonic robo is sure to terrify adults and children alike, and certainly makes me glad that the predominant robot aesthetic is of giant armoured killing machines and sultry temptroids, at least outside of companies trying to market hospital bots in place of Filipino nurses. And the price? A mere ¥450,000 (about $1,000,000 if current trends continue). Better to content yourself with a robot that can’t talk, but does perform reasonably well at oppressing animals.

    ¥450,000 equals 5000$ Where was 1 million taken from? Probably zero count error. And goddamn - Hello Kitty is cute. Wherever is robo or stuffed.... More

    That's quite odd as of 11/14/2009 the Yen to Dollar conversion equates ¥450,000 to $5,018.40 so 1 mil is a bit optimistic.... More

Yodobashi Camera Akiba Megastore

Yodobashi Akiba

I had another look around Yodobashi Camera’s flagship megastore in Akihabara recently. It certainly has a excellent selection, and the store itself is very nice, but pricewise it is beaten heartily by Amazon, and any serious seller with Kakaku.com or Rakuten (although these two really require a Japanese bank account to get the best deals).
